Upon its completion in 2027, The Arcady at Boon Keng, a 172-unit freehold condominium, will emerge as a landmark private residence in the heart of the Boon Keng area. The project will create a dense green space along Serangoon Road, featuring modern architecture that will set it apart as a standout condominium in the neighbourhood.
The trusted local developers KSH Holdings, SLB Development and H10 Holdings are collaborating on its development. They have partnered with award-winning architectural firm, Park + Associates, to craft this distinguished residence.
When the development was launched for sale in January, many investors and local buyers resonated with the efficiently designed unit layout of the one-bedroom plus study units and the two-bedroom units. Families appreciated the spacious units, ideal for homes, and the project's abundance of family-friendly amenities.
The Arcady at Boon Keng presents discerning buyers with a rare opportunity to invest in an affordable freehold development in a city-fringe neighbourhood. It stands out among only a handful of new freehold projects launching this year.
Creating a garden home
Adopting a bold architectural form that weaves into a curated landscape design is a deliberate effort by the developers and the designers of The Arcady at Boon Keng to envision the project as an urban oasis, a rare pocket of tranquil luxury in this bustling city fringe neighbourhood.
Crafted by the architects at Park + Associates and Ecoplan Asia, the landscape architect, the development showcases a tiered design, with a trail leading from the Grand Arrival to the ground floor landscape deck, uniquely tailored for this project.
This multi-layered design optimises the total space available for verdant greenery, while combining what could have been three-storeys worth of facilities in a typical development into a ‘one-stop’ zone of communal facilities across just two floors at the base of the tower. This efficient use of space can also be seen in other areas with abundant facilities like the 14th floor and the rooftop terrace.
Parents can take a breather in the Social Deck while watching their little ones play at the Kids Playground beside them or enjoy a weekend of family fun together at the Family Deck beside the Splash Patio and Family Pool.

Access to the second-storey Sky Terrace will be a few steps away and is perfect for an indoor retreat. A dedicated kids’ zone with a Party Deck and Kids Club will keep children entertained, while parents can relax at the Chill Out Lounge that spills out from the Botanic Club.
Residents can also host guests at the Arcady Club on the 14th floor where they can invite a private chef to create a refined alfresco dining experience while enjoying a spectacular view. Fresh produce can also be grown at the community garden on the rooftop, providing a convenient source of organic ingredients.
Guests can also be accommodated at the Gourmet Vista on the 14th floor where they can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding skyline. (Picture: KSH Holdings)
It is uncommon to find a single-tower condo in Singapore, especially in the Boon Keng neighbourhood, that provides outdoor and indoor facilities dedicated to residents' diverse needs and lifestyles. With 47 condo facilities spanning 4,000 sq m, each of the 172 households at The Arcady at Boon Keng will find its pocket of excitement.
Spectacular scenery from the heart of Boon Keng
The residential tower and the orientation of units have been carefully considered, resulting in a north-south orientation, which is elevated by about 18m above the street level to maximise views. Moreover, units are tilted away from the main road, significantly reducing traffic noise.
Units on higher floors will have optimum views of the Kallang River. Meanwhile, the south-facing units will face the direction of Marina Bay.
Unit layout design oriented for families
The layout of each unit has been efficiently designed. Master bedrooms across all unit types are spacious enough to fit a king-sized bed, while common bedrooms easily accommodate a queen-sized bed.
The development has seen steady sales of its larger units, which range between three-bedroom units of 969 sq ft, three-bedroom-plus-study units of 1,281 sq ft, and four-bedroom units of 1,410 sq ft. There are also two penthouses of 2,433 sq ft and 2,583 sq ft.
Families with school-going children and couples will find that the development meets many criteria — a comfortably sized home within a conveniently located condo that boasts a full suite of amenities that all family members can enjoy.
The condo is near Bendemeer Primary School, Bendemeer Secondary School, St Andrew's Junior School, and Hong Wen School.
Surrounding amenities include Woodleigh Mall at Bidadari Park Drive and Bendemeer Mall along Bendemeer Road.
“We think buyers are likely drawn to The Arcady at Boon Keng owing to its convenient location and connectivity. With the Boon Keng MRT Station on the North-East Line being about six to seven minutes’ walk from the project, residents will enjoy a relatively short commute to the city,” says Ismail Gafoor, CEO of PropNex Realty, one of the project's marketing agents.
Dhoby Ghaut MRT Interchange Station, which links the North-East Line, North-South Line and Circle Line, is three stops from Boon Keng MRT Station. “We observe that many home buyers these days prefer projects within walking distance to an MRT station; convenience is much-prized given today’s busy lifestyle,” adds Gafoor.
Mark Yip, CEO of Huttons Asia, agrees that The Arcady at Boon Keng presents a rare opportunity as a freehold property in a central location with easy access to major expressways like the CTE and PIE.
The Arcady at Boon Keng will also benefit from its proximity to the rejuvenated Kallang precinct, which will see new sports and leisure facilities developed as part of the Kallang Alive Masterplan, announced during Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s inaugural National Day Rally this year.
Earmarked as Singapore’s future sports hub, the masterplan aims to bring together several key sporting associations and the Singapore Sports School into one integrated precinct. Sports and recreation activities will be supported by planned state-of-the-art sports facilities and a new 12,000-seat stadium.
An attractively priced freehold offering
Since the project launched in January 2024, all the one-bedroom plus study units have been snapped up, and close to 90% of the two-bedroom units have been sold.
With an average selling price of about $2,570 psf, its freehold tenure and potential for relatively greater capital appreciation compared to new 99-year leasehold projects, The Arcady at Boon Keng presents a compelling case for buyers and investors, given its competitive pricing.
“The Arcady at Boon Keng is attractively priced relative to its location near the city and the MRT station,” says Hutton’s Yip.
PropNex's Gafoor concurs, adding: "The average transacted price of $2,570 psf at The Arcady at Boon Keng is lower than the overall average unit price of about $2,840 psf for new freehold, non-landed private homes in the RCR for 2024. In fact, it is also slightly lower than the average transacted unit price of new 99-year leasehold projects in the RCR of about $2,600 psf."
"Overall, we think The Arcady at Boon Keng checks many boxes for homebuyers today", says Gafoor. "The project is located in a well-established neighbourhood in the city fringe, has good connectivity and easy access to the PIE. Another plus is that it has a freehold land tenure, which makes this project ideal for legacy planning and wealth preservation."
“With the scarcity of new home launches in the area, we anticipate HDB upgraders will naturally gravitate toward The Arcady at Boon Keng,” says Marcus Chu, CEO of ERA. “Nearly 1,400 upcoming MOP units from the Bidadari HDB estate further expands the pool of potential buyers for The Arcady at Boon Keng.”
